If you decide to only do a Python implementation, the main reason to write a wrapper in C would be because the datetime class is defined in C. Similar to how the datetime_strptime() function in Modules/_datetimemodule.c imports and calls _strptime._strptime_datetime().

An alternative might be to subclass the C classes _datetime.datetime, etc, and define the methods directly in those subclasses. Similar to how the C-defined class _socket.socket is subclassed in Lib/socket.py and more methods are added.
